Sly Reflex Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 90% of my online presence is rape and nonce related jokes. That's why I'll never be able to direct a cash cow.
DisturbedSwan Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 Bit gutted with that news to be honest but when you’re a public figure it’s just not cool to be making those kind of jokes in the public eye in the past or present. At least GotG3 may be a little better now at least, GOTG2 was probably my worst Marvel movie.

We had it just last week with ArenaNet. A few people I like were outed as arseholes in the MeToo movement and now I think fuck those guys. This isn't the same. I firmly believe this was orchestrated because of how much he criticises Trump a lot publicly.

Still doesn't make Gunn's past comments go down any smoother but I agree that Disney maybe shouldn't of capitulated to the baying mob so easily.
Jimboxy Posted July 20, 2018 Author Posted July 20, 2018 You're telling me that Disney, one of the largest companies in the world haven't been through everyone of their employees social media accounts with a fine tooth comb? I find it hard to believe they didn't know about all of these, or that they couldn't make it go away? Either way, we now live in a world where everything you put online is captured and you can be held account for it, regardless of who it is that dug it up. Still, it's a shitty way to leave. 2
HandsomeDead Posted July 20, 2018 Posted July 20, 2018 You wouldn't even need to go through his social media, since in the film he made right before Guardians had Ellen Page rape Rainn Wilson. It stinks. I'm kinda Mad OnlineTM about this but whatevs
Hendo Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 Certainly sounds like he was stuffed over for his politics.

All of this. We've all said things we regret in life but when its recorded and presented years and years later. Man, that's fucked up. We should be getting more mature as we get older and can change our naive views. Some things can never be unsaid too. I guess it depends how bad his comments were. Social media still has a lot to answer for in its own infancy...
HandsomeDead Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 First proper look at Captain Marvel. She looks on point. Looking forward to how she acts. Oh yeah and #RehireJamesGunn 1
Guest Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Oh YIPEE. Another great actress swallowed up by a marvel movie. Can’t wait for the genericness of this character.
Jimboxy Posted September 6, 2018 Author Posted September 6, 2018 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't really know anything about Captain Marvel, but Marvel have been on such a strong run as late (apart from all the genericness obvs) that I'm sure it's going to be great.
Manicm Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 I’ve only just got round to watching infinity wars, great film and did a good job with so many characters, I am a little out the loop need to watch thor 3? And Guardians 2 as missed those 2 and feel I need to watch those, looking forward to the next film.
DANGERMAN Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 @Manicm Thor is great, it's a properly good film. Guardians 2 is pretty poor even as a comic book film imo, which is a shame because the first one was good

DisturbedSwan Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Thor Ragnarok is incredible @Manicm probably my second favourite Marvel film behind Infinity War. GOTG2 is awful though, probably my least favourite Marvel film.
HandsomeDead Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 You all sound hungry for more MCU Loki and Scarlet Witch to get their own TV shows on Disney's upcoming streaming service Quote News breaks tonight that Marvel is planning on giving solo TV series to Loki and the Scarlet Witchand other Marvel superheroes on the upcoming Disney streaming service. More importantly, actors Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen are expected to reprise their role as the God of Mischief and Wanda Maximoff, respectively. The bigger quake in all this news is the presence of Kevin Feige, the President and primary producer of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I think Loki got a solid arc in the Thor and Avengers films so I can't say I'm stoked for that. I don't think I want more. But I'm up for more Wanda as she was sorely underused in the films but I hope they are willing to get freaky enough with her. You could do some cool stuff with mind bending and glowy, red hands.
DANGERMAN Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 She's the best Olson My understanding is Scarlet Witch is supposed to be insanely powerful. They always seem to weaken characters in tv and films, I guess to make them quit
HandsomeDead Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 Yeah, but in the story the MCU tells they frame her as being kinda afraid of her powers. Maybe the show could be about tackling that. I dunno. Spitballing here. Marvel can have that for free. They seem hard up.
